NIP AND TUCK.
Detroit Barely Manages to Win /;
Game From lndianaDOIis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-The cham
pions had narrow escape from an
other defeat to-day at the hands of the
tailenders. Getzien's superb pitching
at several critical stages in the game,
however, won it for his team. In the
first inning two bases On balls and an
error gave the visitors their first run.
In the second three singles gave them
another. In the fourth three singles,
an out and two doubles gave them four
more, and in the seventh they got the
winning run on base on balls, a single
and an error. indianapolis didn't tally
till the fourth, when two singles,
passed ball and an out gave them one
run. In the eighth they earned five on
five single hits, a double and some
lively base running. 1t was at this
point that GetZein did his best work,
retiring the side on strike-outs. An ex-
hibition game will be played between
the two clubs tomorrow, and the sea-
son will end here with Saturdays sched-
uled game. Score:

HAD FUN WITH HILL.
minneapolis Pounds the Ball
About at Will.

Minneapolis and La Crosse had pic
mic yesterday at which the former
lunched on the latter. A young gentle
man named Hill was put in the box for
the visitors and was pounded terribly.
Foster led with the stick, hammering
out two home runs and three singles.
Patton followed with four singles and a
double and Ninkleman with two
singles, double and triple. Halves
made a long drive over the left
field fence and Kreig hit
hard though he put up long
flies. Klopf succeeded in putting out
three long singles. In the box he was
as hard to hit as ever until the last in
ming, when with the score standing Is

cordingly. La Crosse did not field up

The Umpire to Blame.

TO the Editor OF the Globe.
In regard to the Hastings Maroons and st.
Paul Reserves game, allow me to say that
the Reserves are highly pleased with the
treatment they received by the Maroons, and
too much cannot be said of T. S. Carlton,
manager, who tried to make our visit as
pleasant as possible. But the judgment of
King, the umpire, excepting on balls and
strikes, is ridiculous and disgusting When
the Hastings men were at bat he ordered them
to play ball, but within fifteen seconds after
wards, during which a certain individual
told him if the play was continued Hastings
would lose the game, he called the game in
favor of the Maroons. Certain members of
the Maroons say it was light enough to con-
tinue, and concede that they would certainly
have been defeated had the game been
allowed to continue. The score at the time
the game was called was 9 to Z in favor of
the Reserves. 1t is purely piece of spite
work on the part of the wouldbe umpire be-
cause he was not chosen umpire for our first
game. Very respectfully. C. HENRY,
Manager st. Paul Reserves

Milwaukee Takes Another Game
From Duluth's Alleged Ball

MilWaukee Takes Another Game
From Duluth's Alleged Ball
Players.
Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 6.-About
1,500 persons saw the Milwaukee club
end the series with Duluth by giving
them another drubbing, though not as
bad one as in the two previous games.
Shenkel and Broughton occupied the
points for the home team, while Brynan
and Earle officiated in the same capa-
city for the visitors. Both pitchers
We're very effective, though Shenkel had
the better of it. In the first inning
Forster got his base on balls, Williams
and Maskrey hit safely ard Nor
rissey sent one to first which
Firle failed to stop, Forster
and Williams scoring. In the fourth
Strauss led off with a three-ba@ger and
was brought home by Sylvester, who
put short fly back of second base,
where no one could get it.. The other
run made by Milwaukee was a gift by
Duluth, the home team reciprot ating by
allowing the visitors to make one in the
ninth inning, thus saving them white
wash. The game abounded in sharp,
pretty plays on both sides, though the
grounds were in bad condition, espe-
cially for base running Score:

SECOND GAME.
There was scarcely an intermission
of two minutes between the first and
second games. Both mines were anx-
ious to begin work. Baldwin and DAILY
and Calvin and Miller were the batter
les. Arson made himself obnoxious by
kicking and queer antics Oh the outside,
but soon subsidized. The Champions
folded wretchedly and although Bald
win was hit quite hard. but one earned
run was scored off him. Pfeffer played
badly and Tebian's two wild throws
were costly. Chicago scored its only
run on Ryan's double and Sullivan's
single. Attendance, 5000. Score:

ANSON KICKED,
But Chicago Lost Two Games to
PittSburG All the Same,

PITTsBURG, Oct. 6.-Chicago and
Pittsburg played two games to-day. 1t
was disastrous day for the White
Stockings, for they were defeated by
overwhelming scores in both contests.
The local nine had considerable fun at
Anson's expense during the contests.
He was desperate, and kicked on the
slightest pr0vocation. Clarkson was
hit at will by the Pittsburg men from
the first, while Morris pitched an effect
i've game. Arson caught two hard line
drives. Score:

Oshkosh's Lead Slight.

The contest in the Northwestern
league is not yet over. If Milwaukee
should win and Oshkosh lose the next
game each plays, the Cream City nine
would again take the lead. Oshkosh in
tends to play three games with Duluth
the latter part of next week, however,
and hopes to thus regain any ground
lost in Minneapolis. st. Paul still has
chance to get back into third place. The

AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
The Phiflies in Their Fifteenth


New YORK, Oct. 8.-The Philadel-
phias again defeated the New Yorks on
the polo grounds to-day. Ferguson, the
all-round player of the Phillies, was put
in the pitchers box and did famously.
One error was charged to the visitors,
that being foul fly muff by Ferguson.
This makes fifteen games won in sue
cession by Philadelphia, and if they had
New York to play against all the while
they might go in and win hundred.
For the home team Ward and Conner
were about the only ones who played
ball, and the former played in elegant
style. Murphy caught well, and Welch,
though he pitched well, was hit hard.

A WILD PITCH.
1t Enabled Boston to Win From
the Senator's.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. = With the
scores standing to in the seventh in
ming, the Bostons with two men on
bases and two out, scored the winning
run on a wild pitch by O'Day. Rad
bourne pitched fine game, as did also
O'Day after the first inning. Dealy's
catching and Nash's fielding were the
features. The game was called at the
end of the seventh inning on account of
darkness. Score:

that northern prisons are recruited

is it possible to account for this
harvest Of death, az plentiful as
that which follows the scytbe and
reaping hook Of great epidemics?
Is it necessary to await the legisla.

Of mistreatment that makes It's ap-
pearance atlong and rare intervals
Can we not, with all manner Of
charity for guards and drivers,
readily picture the driving of the
well and strong to the breaking
down of courage and health and
strength, and then the neglect Of
the sick?
How many died at the famous
Mcdonald railroad convict camp
in North Mississippi last winter
and spring.
In January, 1887, 2Os able,bOd.
led, we'll conviets were placed in
these shameless Or pens for railroad
work. Out Of this number 20 died
in six months, making an annual
death rate Of 200 to the thousand.
And to finish up this marvellous
record, 2s convicts were sent to
the prison at Jackson, some of
whom afterwards died.
Every person of ordinary intel
ligenoe and discernment know that
prOtestations Of kind and proper
treatment must go down before the
terrible testimony OF this death
rate.
Such is the "coRvict camp" not
alone in Mississippi, but in Georgia
Louisiana, Tennessee, and where.
sver it has an existence. After
twenty years Of investigation, tin
kerings, and patehings, the institu.
ion retains all Of its original and

make it just or humane, and no
safeguards can protect its victims

boards for hunks, three tiers high;

There has never been an official

oped every imaginable sort Of

abuse Of power to know.the real
workings Of this institution in one
State is to know its history where
ever it has an existence. There is
the same heart-sickening death

whore life is risked daily in the

immonse pardon rate which comes
ola merciful contemplation Of this
awful convict life. The same cruel
punishments, privations, mistreat-
ments and sufferings, and the same

ing to escape. A system that logi-
cally produces escapes and that
maintains packs Of blOOdhounds to

of the prisoners treated too well,
and allowed too many privileges,
and many subjected to cruelties
and expressions. No real respon-
sibility anywhere. Shifted from

Let US consider the death rate of
the Mississippi convicts from the
Official biennial report
In the year 1882 there was an
average ofs2s conyicts in the pris-
en- proper and the convict camps,
and out Of this number l2s died
during that year. thus showing
death rate Of 1852 per centum. No
epidemic or unusual canse is stated
N the official reports for this un-
usual number Of deaths
Some idea Of these figures will
be gained BY comparison with
the death rate Of an ordinary city,
New Orleans, for example, where
the rate is ? per centum, including
of course TIE largo item Of infant
